Speaking to BBC Radio 1, the Night At The Museum actor revealed that "there are plans afoot" to bring his hapless chatshow host to the big screen.
"We are planning on making a movie," he said. "We're talking at the moment. What it is we're not quite sure."
Coogan divulged that a storyline has been decided on, but declined to give specifics. The 43-year-old also acknowledged that the leap from TV to film may dictate a change in approach to the character.
"That's just something you need to be aware of," he commented. "You need to be aware of that and it might mean you readdress the character, make him slightly subtler or build up to it in a different way. But that's certainly something that's going to be on our minds but I think Alan is complex enough to sustain something longer."
Alan Partridge first appeared on the Radio 4 show On The Hour in 1991, later moving to TV with The Day Today, Knowing Me, Knowing You and I'm Alan Partridge.
Coogan, Peter Baynham, Armando Iannucci (the recent In The Loop) and Patrick Marber (Closer) have all scripted Partridge in the past.
